lyrics

at daylight break, i will them stay for teatime
but like a rambling lover they will take flight
in the early hours, sunbeams gently flowing
through the blinds, soaking up those behind with the chains of the well-behaved

with the chains of the well-behaved
whoa, whoa, oh oh oh oh oh oh
oh leave me here behind in the dark

chains held together tight by warden daylight
relinquished by the blustering tides of the pull of the moonbeam’s pride
beaming inside of what pieces of life here arrive between left ear and right
congregated for sermons elated, for ballads of the crimson tide

with the chains of the well-behaved
whoa, whoa, oh oh oh oh oh oh
oh leave me here behind in the dark
